Turbinen aus der Tragetasche

Am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie wurde der Prototyp eines Kleinwindkraftwerks zur autarken Stromversorgung entwickelt. Das "Energypack" genannte System besteht aus einem 1,10 m langen PVC-Gehäuse mit dreieckigem Querschnitt, Generator, Seilen sowie Funkgerät und kostet ab 50 Euro. Mit dem Energypack kann ein Dynamo mit 2,5 W angetrieben werden. An der Dualen Hochschule BW Heidenheim wurde das System "Anemotec" entworfen, das anstelle von Windflügeln über ein schraubenähnliches Gewinde verfügt. Der Rotor und die Windführung bestehen aus glasfaserverstärkten Werkstoffen. Die erzeugte Leistung liegt bei 365 W, die Stromgestehungskosten liegen bei 23 Cent pro kWh. Die von der Hochschule Offenburg entwickelte Windturbine "Windzip" arbeitet mit einem H-Rotor und besteht aus neun leicht gekrümmten Blechen, die wie Planeten in unterschiedlichem Abstand und in unterschiedlicher Höhe um einen vertikalen Stab kreisen. Bei einer Windgeschwindigkeit von 10 Meter pro Sekunde wurde damit eine Leistung von 40 W erzeugt.
Researchers are developing new GNSS receivers and antennas based on an innovative signal-processing scheme to significantly improve GNSS tracking reliability and accuracy under degraded signal conditions. It is based on the principles of synthetic-aperture radar. Like in a multi-antenna phased array receiver, GNSS signals from different spatial locations are combined coherently forming an optimized synthetic antenna-gain pattern. The method is implemented in a real-time PC-based software receiver and works with GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo signals. Multiple frequencies are generally supported. The idea of synthetic-aperture processing is realized as a coherent summation of correlation values of each satellite over the so-called beamforming interval. Each correlation value is multiplied with a phase factor. For example, the phase factor can be chosen to compensate for the relative antenna motion over the beam-forming interval and the resulting sum of the scaled correlation values represents a coherent correlation value maximizing the line of sight signal power.
Helmut M. Rudigier hörte einen Pfarrer enthusiastisch und furchterregend über das Jüngste Gericht predigen. Als andächtiger Zuhörer mit realem Sinn für Humor versuchte er, sich das Jüngste Gericht mit dem vorhergehenden Weltuntergang etwas lebensnaher vorzustellen. Zunächst errechnete er die Anzahl der dabei abzuurteilenden Seelen und kam schnell darauf, daß es dabei ohne himmlische Organisation und ohne Computer nicht zufriedenstellen gehen kann. Ein anderer Pfarrer, dem er von seinen Vorstellungen erzählte, meinte lachend, er könne künftig nie mehr über das Jüngste Gericht predigen.
Im Spannungsfeld zwischen Himmel und der irdischen Welt werden auf freundlich-hintergründige Weise viele Probleme angesprochen. Es "menschelt" auch im Himmel, oder besser gesagt, es "himmelt" auch unter den Heiligen, die sich um den größeren Heiligenschein streiten. Und die irdischen Verhältnisse stinken in die himmlischen Gefilde. Kommen Sie vergnüglich und erwartungsvoll mit in den Himmel!
The advantages of the coupled-mode (COM) formalism and the transmission-matrix approach are combined in order to create exact and computationally efficient analysis and synthesis tools for the design of coupled surface acoustic wave resonator filters. The models for the filter components, in particular gratings, interdigital transducers (IDTs) and multistrip couplers (MSCs), are based on the COM approach that delivers closed-form expressions. To determine the pertinent COM parameters, the COM differential equations are solved and the solution is compared with analytically derived expressions from the transmission-matrix approach and the Green's function method. The most important second-order effects, such as energy storage, propagation loss, and mechanical and electrical loading, are fully taken into account. As an example, a two-pole, acoustically coupled resonator filter at 914.5 MHz on AT quartz is investigated. Excellent agreement between theory and measurement is found.
It is demonstrated that microwave structures incorporating dielectric resonators (DR) are accurately characterised by means of a 3-dimensional finite-difference CAD package. All major assumptions made so far have been dropped, offering the possibility of a rigorous analysis of the embedding of dielectric resonators into microwave structures. In particular, a finite thickness for the microstrip conductor has been taken into account. The coupling of the DR to a microstrip placed in a metallic housing has been theoretically and experimentally investigated. Theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement and give new insight into DR coupling to microstrip circuits.
The advantages of the coupling-of-modes (COM) formalism and the transmission-matrix approach are combined to create exact and computationally efficient analysis and synthesis CAD tools for the design of SAW-resonator filters. The models for the filter components, especially gratings, interdigital transducers (IDTs). and multistrip couplers (MSCs), are based on the COM approach, which delivers closed-form expressions. In order to determine the relevant COM parameters, the integrated COM differential equations are compared with analytically derived expressions from the transmission-matrix approach. The most important second-order effects such as energy storage, propagation loss and mechanical and electrical loading are fully taken into account. As an example, the authors investigate a two-pole, acoustically coupled resonator filter at 914.5 MHz on AT quartz. Excellent agreement between theory and measurement is found.
